ELECTRIC RULES <br />FARM FIELD IRRIGATION SYSTEM --SEASONAL DISCONNECT/RECONNECT FEES <br />Expenses incurred by Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) for disconnecting farm field irrigation <br />system transformers in the fall and reconnecting same in the spring is an expense that the <br />irrigation customer currently reimburses ERMU for. The irrigation customer also pays the basic <br />monthly charge for all 12 months of the year. In an effort to save both parties unnecessary <br />expense, ERMU will offer the following options: <br />1. If the irrigation customer prefers to have the farm field irrigation system disconnected <br />and/or reconnected, ERMU will provide that service at a rate of $150 per visit. In addition, <br />ERMU will limit the $50 basic monthly charge the irrigation customer pays to six months <br />annually including April through September. If the irrigation customer needs to water <br />additional months, the $50 basic monthly charge will be extended to include those <br />months as well. <br />2. If the irrigation customer prefers to leave the farm field irrigation system connected, and <br />consequently, requires no intervention by ERMU personnel, no disconnect/reconnect fees <br />will be imposed. If the system is left connected, the irrigation customer assumes all risk <br />associated with unintentional or intentional equipment startup. The irrigation customer <br />will be charged the $50 basic monthly fee for six months annually including April through <br />September. If the irrigation customer needs to water additional months, the $50 basic <br />monthly fee will be extended to include those months as well. <br />
